Naturally, it would be preferable if Prince Rupert could be built on some sounder and more permanent footing than that of military expediency but, nevertheless, that is sbriiething that must be considered. In this changing world, it is not easy topredict from day to day where and in what manlier our future destiny lies. PALESTINE EXPLOSION? WILL PALESTINE blow up at last? Some observers think that a- major explosion is imminent but past experience suggests that the fuse which was all unwittingly touched off by Arthur Balfour in 1917 is a very slow-burning one and that it is still a long way from the real dynamite. On the other hand, ;the tempo of rebellion in Palestine ihas certainly speeded up of late. It ! was known some time ago from captured Hagana documents that serious : trouble was brewing, but the real an-iswer to the question depends on the force of British counter-measures .ami Hagana reaction to them. "" .Hagana means defence. The organization was formed about 40 .XSiii's ago, originally for the purpose of securing protection by joint tetion against Arab bandits. Various incidents have encouraged the growth of Hagana as an armed resistance movement until it now includes almost every adult Jew .in Pale'stine. The acquisition of arms iby Hagana Was not too difficult. For "thirty years the Middle East has been one huge arsenal, and weapons ;could always be bought at a price, jln ,'fpite of severe penalties, there are thousands of illicit firearms cached in various parts of the country Until quite recently, Hagana had ; not clashed openly with the British ; authorities. Its role has been passive rather than active: Most of tlie ter- rorist incidents of the last few years j were directly traceable to smaller j but more violent organizations. Hag ana has confined itself to intensive 2 preparation and to assisting the ! entry and subsequent protection of '.. illegal immigrants. ' When Hagana does decide to ; come out in the open, it may prove ' to have something more than a ! nuisance value. It is estimated that j the organization can put up to 80,- 000 trained troops in the field, in-' eluding some 3,000 commandos. '- The Hagana Jews do not want 1 to fight the British; in fact they ' realize that in a major showdown I they would not stand a chance. They i hope, however, to gain their point by turning world opinion against ; the British policy in Palestine. As ; they see the position, the British are ; only in Palestine for selfish reasons. : Before the first World War (so I runs a favorite argument) Arab na- tionalism was rising swiftly and : during that war the Allies made use : of it. It is perfectly true that Lawrence of Arabia was not satisfied that his promises to the Arabs were carried out, but his power to make promises was doubtful, and in any case Britain was not the sole arbiter in the matter. It is also true that British interest in Palestine is largely based on the protection of the Suez Canal. It is only natural that Britain should wish to protect that vital life-line. Jews the world over might have suffered far more seriously than they did, had the Germans captured Suez. With regard to Zionism, the charge that this was no more than a political trick is a grave libel on the memory of that distinguished statesman, Lord Balfour. Palestine contains half-a-million Arabs. The Arab knows that he cannot compete with the Jew, and that he has not the capacity to develop Palestine. The Jew possesses the very qualities which the Arab notoriously lacks energy, vitality, and knowledge of modern methods. Arab leaders see only too clearly that Zionism involves a new economic life built on Western models and new applications of science which would eventually oust all who could not adopt them. Aggressiveness on both sides has not helped matters. An early Zionist publicly invited the Arabs in Palestine to "trek along." Arab extremists, in berserk moments, have carried out brutal massacres, cutting down greybeards and carving up women and children. Britain has been unlucky in that the Balfour Declaration of 1917, promising a national home for the Jews, was followed by the Hitler pogroms which uprooted millions of Jews and left them homeless. These unfortunate people clutched at Zionism as a drowning man clutches at a straw, but Zionism, in its original conception, was never intended to cater for millions of Jews. Jewish leaders aver that in Biblical times Palestine supported ten times its present population, and that with modern methods even that figure could be doubled. Britain, trying to hold the balance fairly as between Jew and Arab, has restricted immigration and the purchase of land by Jews. If the Jews were allowed their own way," the Arabs of Palestine would soon be dispossessed. And the Balfour Declaration makes it quite clear that nothing shall be done to prejudice the civil and. religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine. PAPER INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT of the pulp and paper industry into the Dominion's biggest manufacturing enterprise in which 200,000 workers are employed is reviewed in a booklet recently issued by the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association. The booklet traces the industry's growth from the building of the first Canadian paper mill at St. Andrews, near Lachute, Que., in 1803. There are now more than 80 pulp and paper companies in Canada operating 10S mills with output at about $375,000,-000. Of all the peacetime domestic manufacturing industries, pulp and paper stands first in employment, first in total wages paid, first in export values, first -in the net value of production and first in capital invested, the booklet reveals. In n'ewsprint alone the Dominion has a mill capacity of 4,250,000 tons yearly and 94 per cent of the output is exported. Canadian production supplies three of every eight newspaper pages printed throughout the world. Normally the industry accounts for 14 to 24 per cent of the Dominion's total exports. Emphasis is put on the fact that the industry is making much progress with its program to build a perpetual industry despite the fact that millions of trees are cut down annually. Reforestation is expanding rapidly throughout the country and the main problems to be overcome are forest fires, tree diseases and destructive insects. A plea is made for greater governmental supervision of forest management and the fight against forest diseases and an appeal is made to individuals to take every possible precaution against fire.

AIRMEN ADOPT JEW CHILDREN Distribute Parcels From Home To'Ailins Youngsters in Germany MONTREAL The story of how 22 Canadian airmen, seven if them Montrealers, "adopted" 22 Jewish children while stationed near Hamburg, Oermany, and brought them back to health, was ;tld here recently by one of the ijmen. LAC Sam Klrshner of Mc ntreal. Kir.shner told how he and a end Cpl. Mickey OoUlburg bc.th members of the all-Cana-' '.an Spitfire Unit which 1 belt ved to have topped all others n Europe in downing enemy planes prior to VE-Day aroused interest in 20 other Jewish men their airfield at Utersen. west of Hamburg, to aid the children by distributing the greater part of their parcels from home among them. The need was so great, the servicemen soon found their parcels far from sufficient so they wrote their families; friends and various organizations asking for more bundles of food and clothes. So successful were their appeals, that men who had been receiving one or two' parcels a month were soon getting as many as 30 in the same period. The parcels were remade Into 12-cound lots, one being given periodically to each child. Tlie donations, however, were not made haphazardly as the airmen had earlier lnvestlzated and written down the case histories of .each youngster and knew Just what each one needed.
